About Us

Hi! My name is Michelle O'Connor, and I'm the owner of Just For Fun on 24th Street in Noe Valley, San Francisco. We are an art supply, toy, gift and homeware store.

My journey began at Just For Fun in August 2021. I had discovered the store having recently moved over to the Bay Area in 2019 from the United Kingdom with my family. As a mom with two kids at home during the height of the pandemic, I was looking for activities to do and a local business to support.

Taking on a business of this size has been an exciting and daunting endeavor, but with a lot of support from the long-time owners and the team members, we are able to continue the legacy, while adding a little bit of our own spice. If you ever find yourself in the neighborhood, please stop by to check out our events, shop a little, and say hi!
